Wire harness brackets

[rpr851r]

Hello All,
I am in the middle of reassembling my A and am working on harness routing. In looking though pictures of other bikes I came across the one below and it shows small brackets (circled in red) that neatly hold connectors that were not present on my bike. Were the brackets on all the bikes and just missing on mine or were they discontinued at some point?

Thanks,
Rich

Rich,
The A models removed most all the connector brackets as found in the M models.

Thanks for the reply.

That cost cutting went into the late M models as well. My original Aussie delivered and very late M doesn't have them either.

I wasn't aware of that Wayne. With the M headlamp connector brackets, there was a place for everything and everything in it's place(grin). I hope they got scrap dollars for them.

EDIT. I had to refresh my memory, the headlamp bridge was simplified in later production and most connectors just had to allow the headlamp to fit and not get pinched in the process. I came across my notes from school showing the positioning of the colored connectors
